Iron-Age

Brewery: The Celt Experience
Supplier: Beer52

Last from the Beer52 box, this is another from the Caerphilly based brewery. This is part of their seasonal range, and is described as red table ale. It is also advertised as unfiltered, but that's the norm for real ale.
Appearance: Brown turning to a cloudy amber colour when held to the light
Aroma: Smells like a typical real ale - that slightly sour smell; but with hints of citrus and hop resin in the back
Flavour: Sweet and slightly caramel malt on the front, with citrus and hop resin on the back - with a little perfume. 
Body: A nice decent body, and it's incredibly refreshing
Aftertaste: The hops come out a lot more, with a nice bitterness rounding out with a little malt. 

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 5, a nice and very drinkable standard british ale.

Price Range: The last from the box of 10 for £14, so £1.40 for a 500ml bottle; a great price for this great drinker, I would definitely get it again for parties.

Food Pairings: A rich, probably steak, pie - with gravy filling, no cream.
